Summer travel, for Indians in 2016 is expected to go much beyond the usual routine, as Indians are looking for true experiences through experiential travel. Spurred by a burgeoning economy that has vastly improved their spending power along with flash sale by airlines, Indians travellers have emerged as the newest globetrotters in the world. Despite the depreciation in the Rupee and the subsequent increase in the cost of travel, sentiment amongst Indians continues to remain robust about vacationing this season. Travellers want to forge deeper connections to the people, traditions and customs of the places they are visiting, and these experiences add a meaningful and memorable component to a vacation.
Every summer season brings with it a new and fresh travel experience, catapulted by the latest travel trends. These trends highlight Indians’ search for activities such as scuba diving and snorkeling and their wish to explore beyond the conventional destinations.
When it comes to travelling international, Indians love to bathe in the sun and clear blue water while travelling to tropical Maldives, and to go shopping in Singapore. Paris, New York, Seychelles and Bahamas are the other non-Asian popular destinations.
Tapping the cultural appetite of foreign tourists and shopping desires of Indians, the country continues to attract tourists during summer across the globe.
